Well, yes.

Just reading an interview with Neil Young (HiFi Choice, January 2005),
in which he states,

"The analogue records always sounded better than anything else to me.
But I compared the new vinyl versions, which are taken from a first
generation analogue master copy, and the best just got better. It's a
really good feeling."

Then he didn't like the master tape.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

It appears to me that NY is comparing previous analogue records to the new
vinyl versions and not the new vinyl versions to the analogue master copy

That's how it read to me. He says that, of the options available before the
new release, vinyl was his medium of preference and that the new release on
vinyl is even better than the original.

Of course it could be he just prefers the sound of his voice as recorded
with added distortion as from an LP. Plenty of musicians prefer the sound
of their voice on dreadful PA mics rather than studio quality ones.

However, that's got nowt to do with the price of fish.
